The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) came up with the rules for the IPL 2025 retentions, and everybody is waiting to know what MS Dhoni is going to do now. Now that the uncapped players' rule has come back, Chennai Super Kings can retain Dhoni for Rs 4 crore. Dhoni's future may be decided anytime soon. The last word on whether Dhoni would continue playing or retire is expected by the end of October. As per a report on Cricbuzz, Dhoni will meet key CSK officials in mid-October in Mumbai to decide his future. IPL teams are to submit their retention lists to the BCCI by the 31st of October. Retaining Dhoni proves that he is making a decision to play; conversely, there is no name, and it would be sure news that he will retire from professional cricket.
